In 2021 the European Commission announced strategic guidelines for a more sustainable and competitive EU aquaculture for the period 2021 to 2030. These guidelines aim to help building an EU aquaculture sector that: (i) is competitive and resilient; (ii) ensures the supply of nutritious and healthy food; (iii) reduces the EU’s dependency on seafood imports; (iv) creates economic opportunities and jobs; and (v) becomes a global reference for sustainability.
